HS Code 5007.10 – Silk; woven fabrics of noil silk
HS code 5007.10 is the 6-digit subheading for silk, woven fabrics of noil silk. It is used for noil silk fabric, slubby silk fabric, raw silk noil fabric, silk noil shantung and silk noil dupioni (if made from noil).
What HS 5007.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers woven fabrics made from noil silk, which is a short-fiber spun silk yarn derived from the "noils" or short fibers left over after combing silk waste. Noil silk fabric is characterized by its distinctive slubby texture, matte finish, and often a slightly nubby appearance, giving it a more rustic and less lustrous feel compared to fabrics made from continuous filament silk. Countries with robust silk spinning and weaving industries, particularly those processing silk waste, such as China, India, and Italy, are key exporters of these fabrics. Importers include fashion designers, garment manufacturers, and home furnishing companies in countries like the USA, Germany, and France, who value noil silk for its unique aesthetic and natural drape. Trade in noil silk fabrics is driven by fashion trends favoring natural textures, sustainability considerations, and its versatility in applications ranging from casual wear to upholstery.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
